ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The World Cup might be over, but soccer obsession continues.<\/p>\n
Pitch Side<\/a> is a new exhibit inside CityArts<\/a> in downtown Orlando. It brings together designers shaped by the rhythm of the world\u2019s game \u2014 soccer.
\nKyle Eagle and Ashley Taylor are the curators. They call it \u201cPitch Side\u201d because that is equivalent to being courtside in basketball. It exemplifies the proximity to the action.
\nThis contemporary art showcase explores the beauty, grit, and cultural connectivity of the game. Designers are interpreting the sport beyond what is seen on a stadium television. \u201cI think people forget sometimes that the sports business is all about design, colors, looks,\u201d Eagle said. \u201cIf you looked at the way players looked in the ’30s to now, it\u2019s constantly evolving.\u201d
\nThe Downtown Arts District<\/a>‘s mission is to elevate the vibrancy and accessibility of art.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s (The exhibit) a beautiful enhancement,\u201d district spokesperson Jaison Radcliff said. \u201cAnd it highlights sports within Central Florida, and most of all, here in Orlando. So this is an incredible celebration.\u201d
